jquery disable a button for a specific time - asp.net

Question

i want to disable a button for a specific time. how can i do that?

Answer 1

Since this is likely to be a task you might like to repeat, I think the best way to do this would be to extend jQuery like so:
$.fn.timedDisable = function(time) {
if (time == null) { time = 5000; }
return $(this).each(function() {
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
var disabledElem = $(this);
setTimeout(function() {
disabledElem.removeAttr('disabled');
}, time);
});
};
This will allow you to call a function on a set of matched elements which will temporarily disable them. As it is written, you can simply call the function, and the selected elements will be disabled for 5 seconds. You would do that like so:
$('#some-button').timedDisable();
You can adjust the default time setting by changing the 5000 in the following line:
if (time == null) { time = 5000; }
You can optionally pass in a time value in milliseconds to control how long the elements will be disabled for. For example:
$('#some-button').timedDisable(1000);

Answer 2

Disable the button and then use setTimeout to run a function that enables the button after a few seconds.
$('#some-button').attr("disabled", "disabled");
setTimeout('enableButton()', 5000);
function enableButton(){
$('#some-button').removeAttr('disabled');
}

Answer 3

Try this.
(function(){
$('button').on('click',function(){
var $this=$(this);
$this
.attr('disabled','disabled');
setTimeout(function() {
$this.removeAttr('disabled');
}, 3000);
});
})();

Might not be the most elegant solution, but I thought I'd play with jQuery queues on this one...
​$.fn.disableFor = function (time) {
var el = this, qname = 'disqueue';
el.queue(qname, function () {
el.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
setTimeout( function () {
el.dequeue(qname);
}, time || 3000);
})
.queue(qname, function () {
el.removeAttr('disabled');
})
.dequeue(qname);
};
$('#btn').click( function () {
​$(this).disableFor(2000);​​​​
});

This is where I worked it out... http://jsfiddle.net/T9QJM/
And, for reference, How do I chain or queue custom functions using JQuery?
